    I played a few games last night, at least 3 of those games smaller vessels started by making a beeline for my bowsprit mast and dismasting me.....

     

    Over the last few weeks it appears common practice for smaller ships to do this, suffer very little in return and the SOL or Rated ship suffering a drop of sail integrity by upto 30%.

     

    Surely a simple fix is for the smaller vessels to be totally dismasted as it passes through the generally larger, stronger bowsprit mast of the SoL/Rated ship....

    You should watch out - if you get too close to an American ship full of free men - your OWN crew of shanghaied men might start jumping sides!

     

    Arhhhh the classic 'Land of the Free' retort and how we poor conscripted and pressed sailors propped up the Royal Navy!!!

     

    I recommend you read this for a comprehensive view of life of the average RN sailor.

    The press gang is generally regarded as the means by which the British navy solved the problem of recruiting enough seamen in the late eighteenth century. This book, however, based on extensive original research conducted primarily in a large number of ships' muster books, demonstrates that this view is false.

     

    Remember sir not everyone in the US were free men!!! ;)
